David Walliams reveals the actor who inspired Mr Stink | Radio Times David Walliams reveals the actor who inspired Mr Stink The comedian and children's writer fields questions from two of his biggest small fans Comments Craig McLean 6:45 AM, 23 December 2012 David Walliams, actor, comedian, extreme swimmer and talent show judge, is also an accomplished author. His five books – The Boy in the Dress, Mr Stink, Billionaire Boy, Gangsta Granny, Ratburger – have achieved a rare feat: they’ve made small boys (including mine) mad for reading. “They’re funny and new, and there’s always a surprise when you turn the page,” opined my nine-year-old Sonny (pictured right in pink). This Christmas, following a successful theatrical outing, BBC1 will show a 60-minute TV version of Mr Stink with Walliams himself taking a role in an adaptation of his story about a tramp adopted by a little girl called Chloe. RT despatched me with a deputation of small fans (Sonny and his friend Zac) to meet the 41-year-old funnyman.

I also wanted to thank him personally for making my lad put down his Wii controller and pick up a book! Who did you base Mr Stink on? At the time I was writing the book, I was performing in a play in London with an actor called Sir Michael Gambon, who played Dumbledore in Harry Potter. And he’s very lovable and eccentric, so I heard his voice in my head when I was writing it. But it came out of a story a friend told me. When he was a kid, he used to see an old lady on the street every day when he was on his way to school. And one day his mum pulled over to pick up this old lady, and she absolutely stank. They never gave her a lift again. So it got me thinking: how much could you love someone that really smells? Why did you decide to play the prime minister in the TV version? It just seemed natural that I would be in it, as I’m also an actor. And I think that was the role I was least likely to ruin. You need an amazing actor to play Mr Stink, so we got Hugh Bonneville. Do you watch Downtown Abbey? No? Twenty Twelve?

OK, well, he’s a very good actor, much better than me. Johnny Vegas is playing the dad. And the next part for a man, apart from playing the dog, would be the prime minister. And Duchess was played by Pudsey from Britain’s Got Talent. Did you see that? No? Well, I was on it and I was very good. If you were PM for a day what would you do? Probably ruin the country like the real ones do. In the books, Chloe says bad words – did you keep those? Well, a couple of things were changed for TV. Mr Stink became a bit more magical. And his smell became like a power. This is in 3D, so people who’ve got BBC1 HD and a 3D television – which is seven people in the UK – will be able to see the smell coming at them. Did you like the Mr Stink play? Yes. When you write a book it’s amazing if it has a life beyond – that’s the dream, isn’t it? With Harry Potter, JK Rowling sits down to write one day, then years later there are eight movies and billions of lunchboxes. You’d never foresee that.

Why did you decide to write children books instead of adult ones? Because children’s books are shorter. And I had ideas for children’s books, and I love children’s books, and I still read them as an adult – they’re a real guilty pleasure. But maybe one day I’ll write for adults too. What inspired you to write? When I was your age, I really wanted to be a comedian, but to do that you really had to write your own material. So I had to become a writer. Then the more I did it, the more I learnt to love writing. I felt that was where most of the creative work was done – coming up with these characters that we did in Little Britain. Then I thought, maybe if I can write scripts, I can write books… Is your house as big as Mr Spud’s in Billionaire Boy? No, it isn’t, because he’s a billionaire. But I’ve been in people’s houses like that. What kind of pyjamas do you have? Stripy ones. I have a few pairs – white ones, blue ones… I like pyjamas. What were you like as a boy? Quite shy. But also I liked showing off.

So I liked being other people playing characters and doing comedy sketches. Which football team do you support? I don’t, but my wife, Lara, supports Chelsea, so I have been to some Chelsea matches. What does she think of the sacking of Di Matteo? I don’t think she’s quite consumed by it at the moment; she’s got other things on her mind… Do you have a name for your baby yet? That’s a secret. And we don’t know yet either. I don’t think you’re ever going to know until the baby comes out. Are you working on a new book now? I’ve got an idea for a scary book, but I don’t know if they’ll let me write it for kids. It would involve people being killed. Sometimes publishers are worried kids won’t like stories with gruesome bits. We love the gruesome bits – like where wicked stepmother Sheila got squashed into a burger in Ratburger. I’m glad you liked that ’cause I had to fight for that. They were like, “ooh, you can’t kill Sheila, she hasn’t done anything really wrong…” But she killed a pet hamster so she deserved to die. Why do you write for boys?

Well, I don’t know if you can tell by looking at me, but I used to be a boy. And I don’t think I’m going to write a book about princesses or fairies. Will you visit our school? I’d love to, but I get about a hundred requests a week to visit schools. And it’s hard because I feel like if I start visiting, all the other schools will feel unhappy. But it would be good fun. And I’m going to some schools next year in South Shields – David Miliband asked me to do this thing called the South Shields Lecture. And I suggested that while I was up there, I visit some schools. So if you can enrol in a school in South Shields, I’ll see you there.

At their first meeting, Lucas did an impression of Jimmy Savile and Walliams an impression of Frankie Howerd . They would not meet again for another year.

The story recounts a neglected 12-year-old boy called Dennis' search for a female role model, his friendship with the popular girl in school, and the ways in which relationships develop along gender lines.

Matt Lucas produced a documentary on the subject, entitled Little Britain's Big Swim.

On 6 November 2006, Walliams won the Pride of Britain Award for "The Most Influential Public Figure" as he raised more than £1.5 million swimming the channel for the Sport Relief charity. Although initially tipped as a contender for the BBC's Sports Personality of the Year poll for 2006, Walliams failed to make the final shortlist of 10 contenders.

Swimming the English Channel On 4 July 2006 Walliams swam the English Channel for Sport Relief . [4] [4] It took him 10 hours and 34 minutes to swim the 22-mile (35 km) stretch of sea, equivalent to 700 lengths of an Olympic-size swimming pool . This was wrongly reported as one of the top 50 recorded times for an unaided Channel crossing; in reality Walliams placed 167th at the time of crossing in only the CSA listings, excluding the CSPF listings. [4] He raised over £ 1 million in donations. Under the supervision of his trainer, he trained for nine months to prepare for the swim. [37] The training had to coincide with Walliams and Lucas's Little Britain Live tour , so he daily had to train for several hours before performing on stage in the evening. Walliams first swam from Lee-on-the-Solent near Portsmouth to the Isle of Wight in around two hours and also completed an eight-hour swim off the coast of Croatia before embarking on the cross-Channel attempt. Walliams has insisted that prior to his challenge he had never seriously taken part in any sport.

The Bluetones ' lead singer Mark Morriss wrote a song, "Fade In/Fade Out", in honour of Walliams' achievement; it can be found on their self-titled album , released on 9 October 2006.

He successfully completed the swim in just over 4½ hours. [4] Cycling In March 2010 Walliams and a group of celebrities cycled an end-to-end journey through the UK, raising over £1 million for Sport Relief. Walliams suffered a serious fall when tackling the Kirkstone Pass , a thousand-foot climb in the Lake District but was able to complete the ride. [39] 24 Hour Panel People In March 2011 Walliams undertook 24 Hour Panel People, in which he took part in back to back recordings of various panel show formats over the course of 24 hours to raise money for Comic Relief . The recordings were streamed live on the BBC website.

He took part in 19 episodes of "classic" TV panel shows. Show Panellists: Alexa Chung , Chris O'Dowd , Matt Edmondson , Robert Webb , Neil Tennant and Nick Grimshaw . Swimming the Thames From 5 to 12 September 2011 Walliams swam the length of the River Thames (140 miles) and raised more than £2m for Sport Relief . In the process, he saved a dog from drowning in the river. Once he had got out of the river Walliams said "I think a bath is the only water I will be seeing for a while." [5] [5] [5] The swim resulted in him getting giardiasis and injuring a intervertebral disc . [5] In late 2013, Walliams had emergency back surgery to alleviate issues caused by the swim. [5] Personal life In 2008, Walliam's father, Peter, died of an aggressive form of liver cancer. [5] In 2009, Walliams began dating Dutch model Lara Stone . [5] On 20 January 2010, they announced their engagement.

Walliams proposed to Stone in Los Angeles after her parents had given their blessing to the relationship. [47] On 16 May 2010, the couple were married at central London 's Claridge's Hotel . [5] [48] [49] In December 2012, the couple announced that Stone was pregnant with their first child and on 6 May 2013, Stone gave birth to their son, Alfred. [50] It was reported on 4 March 2015 that, following five years of marriage, the pair had decided to try a trial separation after "drifting apart". [51] On 9 September 2015, Walliams filed for divorce from Stone, citing "unreasonable behaviour". The couple were granted a decree nisi the next day, making the marriage null and void six weeks after the date of filing. [52] Walliams hinted at being pansexual in the book Inside Little Britain, but said he did not like to be labelled by that word.

In an interview with Radio Times in 2013, he stated: "I think it's all about falling in love with the person and that is overlooked, really. I hate it when people 'confess' or 'reveal' their sexuality and also things can change for people over the years. So it is about the person but I also think it goes beyond that. You don't just fall in love with someone's body, do you? You fall in love with someone's soul and heart and brain." [53] Walliams has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder , [54] and described his 2006 swim of the English Channel as "some sort of redemption". [55] In August 2014, Walliams was one of 200 public figures who were signatories to a letter to The Guardian opposing Scottish independence in the run-up to that year's referendum on that issue .

Personal Quote: I had a very happy childhood, but I wasn't that happy a child. I liked being alone and creating characters and voices. I think that's when your creativity is developed, when you're young. I liked the world of the imagination because it was an easy place to go to.

Watchlist Review by Jane Rackham David Walliams’s book about a homeless man who is befriended by a lonely young girl, Chloe, was written with kids in mind, so it’s stuffed with references to bottoms, belches, farts and smells. But there’s some subtle moralising and tackling of prejudices.

Sheridan Smith is fabulous as a potential MP whose politics are slightly to the right of Hitler, while it was genius to cast Hugh Bonneville as the odoriferous Mr Stink and BGT’s Pudsey as his canine companion. Funny and heart-warming, it even has a cameo from Walliams himself. Summary Family comedy based on the children's novel by David Walliams. Twelve-year-old Chloe leads a lonely existence - her mother is too busy with her political ambitions to take any interest in her daughter, her hen-pecked dad is hiding a secret of his own and she cannot hope to compete with her `perfect' younger sister - to say nothing of the nasty girls who make her school life a misery. So when she meets a tramp in need of somewhere to stay, she invites him to hide in her family's garden shed - but it soon turns out there is more to her smelly guest than meets the eye. Downton Abbey's Hugh Bonneville stars, with Sheridan Smith, Johnny Vegas and Isabella Blake-Thomas, and an appearance from Britain's Got Talent winner Pudsey the dog. Cast & Crew
